This project is for those who are buried in Milton Cemetery, located on 211 Centre Street, Milton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
Milton Cemetery is a historic cemetery established in 1672. It is the town's only municipal burying ground. There are three distinct sections to its 102-acre grounds: the original burying ground, a tract of 3 acres which was in use between 1672 and 1854, a "new" section, laid out in 1854 in the rural cemetery style which was fashionable in the 19th century, and a "modern" section, established in 1945.
